Network professionals lighthouse

This book is a great addition to any IT professionals library.The author's knowledge of Network Monitor and its use to determine networking issues is amazing. The content in this book helped me understand the communication that takes place between network devices. Before reading Mr. Wilson's book I had no idea how to troubleshoot networking problems but afterwards I could sniff out problems like a seasoned bloodhound. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who feels lost in the fog but would like to find their way to network land.

helped me to pass the network+ and A+ exame

I have read the book and it is excelent resourse for any IT that wishes to inprove their skills.

Must have, awesome book!

This book is filled with practicle examples of troubleshooting. It begins with the osi model, but not in a dry accademic way - it actually tells you how the things work, and why. The book then moves to a discussion of protocols, tcp, ip, ipx, spx, udp, and stuff like that. Then it goes into looking at traffic on the network. Frist from the client side, then to the server side of things. After all that, it talks about using Microsoft's Network Monitor product - tells all the ins, and the outs of the product. Finally, it concludes with tons of troubleshooting scenarios. The book is informative, and actually fun to read.

Excellent For All Network Professionals

Very clean and straight forward, provides a very indepth description of TCP/IP, IPX/SPX protocol's, ant the best decription of the OSI Model I have every seen! I have learned more about network traffic in this book then I even knew existed. I am very excited about using network monitor to trouble shoot real world problems, I Highly recommend this to any and all system admins, and consultants, and anyone else that is interested in the Cool util!
